• Aesthetics: While chain link fences are known for security, they might not always be the most visually appealing. Adding slats can transform the look, making it both stylish and functional.
• Protection: Slats can act as a minor deterrent to unwanted intruders, be they animals or people. It’s harder to climb a fence with slats!
• Shade: On hot days, slats can provide a bit of shade, making outdoor spaces more comfortable.

Need More Privacy? Try Winged Privacy Slats!

Winged privacy slats are a great pick for added privacy and safety. They have bendy edges on both sides which give around 90% privacy and protect against strong winds. They lock on their own because of their double-wall build and special wing design.

These slats fit chain link fences with a gap of 2 inches and wires that are either 9 or 11 in thickness. If the gaps are bigger, like 2-3/8 inches, the wires used are usually thinner (11-1/2 or 12). So, with thinner wires, strong winds might push the fence over because it can't hold the weighty slats.

Remember:

The slats are actually 3-1/2 inches shorter than the height mentioned.
